January is all about Healthy Starts and smoothies are a great way to get a healthy and quick start to your day
. This smoothie is not only filled with healthy fruit (that is easy to access all year round), it also tastes like cookies. And as an added bonus, it's vegan!
For the month of January, I am very excited to be hosting "Our Growing Edge," a monthly link up for bloggers, with the theme "HEALTHY STARTS"
Check out some of the other healthy recipes HERE!
As far as I'm concerned, smoothies are the perfect busy morning food! You can throw everything in the blender and end up with a delicious, protein packed meal that's quick and ready to take on the road. This smoothie recipe also makes a great dessert (kid tested and approved)

Looks like a healthy start to 2017! My trainer just finished suggesting I add a smoothie to my diet so glad to have another recipe.
